A swastika is an established religious symbol btw. Yeah I know in the West it has unfortunately developed a more unsavory meaning.
It’s almost like people should evaluate the context of a symbol, be it a swastika or Santa hat, before deciding to be outraged but it would be a true Christmas miracle if that ever happened.
- kabacha 7y agoTo be fair the symbols are a bit different.
- 8fingerlouie 7y agoA Swastika was used as a "good luck" symbol since ~3000 BC, in both Asia and Northern Europe. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_(Germanic_Iron_Age) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_(Germanic_Iron_Age)) While i personally don't take offense at seeing a Swastika "out of context", i know many people do. This however is the first I've heard of people taking offense because of a red top hat, but i guess that's what today's society has come down to. It's almost like people are looking for things that offend them.
